Fantasy Football Podcast 2016 - AFC & NFC North Previews, Fantasy News

under the radar where David Johnson and Zach Zinner. I really liked Zach Zinner's film, and I was happy to see he got picked up as an undrafted free agent for the Lions. He looked great in preseason, and with Joyke Bell gone, he definitely has the opportunity. It could be Stephen Ridley, but I agree with you, Andy. I think he's going to get that first shot. The only worry to him, I don't think it's Stephen Ridley. I think the worry to Zach Zinner is Amir Abdullah. They might go, hey,

Let's see if Amir Abdullah can really be not a true workhorseback because they've got Theoretic there in the past catching, but let's see if he can take a volume, get 12, 13 touches on the ground every game. So that's the interesting thing that I'm going to wait and see how it plays out. Let me ask you this, Mike. Standard League, put the four running backs in Detroit in order in a standard league. In a standard league? How do you draft them? I'm still going to take Abdullah first.

I think he can be a Gio Bernard type of a situation. I think the talent is there for Abdullah. Seconds, man, in standard, I know that the passing numbers for Theoretic were great last year, but in standard, he wasn't a big fantasy producer. I still lean Stephen Ridley over Zach Zener at this time, just because I think that it's...

that Ridley has a proven track record. Not that that's always the decision maker for me, but I've always had this affinity for Ridley. Maybe it's that. We talk about a personal bias, a lot in fantasy football. You always felt bad for him. I tend to have one for Stephen Ridley, so maybe it's, I just can't quit him. I just can't quit you, Stephen Ridley. All right, we need to close it down. We're coming back. This show is, uh, we're showing up on Saturday. You know it.

I wonder, is sport clips better than sports?

Because Sport Clips Haircuts is sports on TV plus an expert haircut, hot steam towel, and massaging shampoo. Tear up his comically large check. Which is better than sports plus public embarrassment. Sport Cliffs. It's a game changer. Check it online at sportclips.com.
